UFC lightweight Drew Dober is quietly sneaking up the divisional ladder.
While Dober hasn’t had many overly flashy performances in his promotional tenure, he’s shown great improvement in each outing.
Saturday night at UFC on ESPN 3, Dober finally picked up the highlight reel victory he has been searching for. In under one minute’s time, Dober (21-9 MMA, 7-5 UFC) disposed of opponent Marco Polo Reyes (8-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) with a barrage of powerful punches.
In the opening exchange, Dober stunned his Mexican opponent, who retreated but seemed to recover. Not wanting to let his opponent off the hook, Dober marched forward, stalking Reyes.
A series of calculated left hands by Dober ended the bout. Jason Herzog had no choice but to step in and stop the fight just 67 seconds after it commenced.
